I love the art of your buttons, but I'm having a problem. I've downloaded ButtonFacade and your xpac, but when I try to use them in a compatible add-on (Aura Frames), I get this strange (and rather ugly, IMO) green border. Looking at the image on this site of your buttons, that border shouldn't be there. It's on diamonds, circles and hexagons.

I have a really stupid question, Under the "Addon Setting" section, its all blank, I've tried to turn off all other addons in my folder but still it does not show the settings, it's just blank. Am i missing some addon or doing something wrong here? The module part is working fine but settings are not. This is a good addon that i used on my old computer and now its not working.

Ok, I got this but it doesn't have that square skin that I loved in Trinity Bars, and the circle skin graphics are not as "smooth" visually as it was in Trinity, not sure if it's because of ButtonFacade...I tried to mess around with the colors but they don't seem to make a big difference. Hopefully I can recreate what I want with another plugin for BF but if you added the square one that would be great too

I noticed that the Adornment square/etc skins were included with this...it's just too.. .."smoky" for me I guess? The simple 2 toned flat borders of trinity were good enough for me.

Finally an answer! Thank you for the quick reply. I guess I've got some tweaking to do before I release my skin. Of course for my very first skin I pick a round one and not square. But I guess that's good because I learned more doing it the hard way

Originally posted by dragongirl411 Hi Maul. I have a question for you.

Specifically for the Hex skin, I'm curious to know how you got the icon so that the corners don't show outside the hex border. Did you make some kind of mask for the icon?

I'm creating my own BF skin that's round. If I make the icon small enough so that the corners aren't peeking out on the outside of the skin, then I get a leak inside the button.

Sorry if I'm rambling, haven't had coffee yet :P

Thanks.

There is no masking of WoW graphics in the sense of traditional graphics editing.

First, I go through pain-staking sizing and resizing until the icon is as large as it can be without peeking out the outside edges. I do this with the button at a scale of 3 (very large )

Second, once I get the icon to the size I want, I see how much of the "squareness" is exposed on the inside of the skin. Once I do that, I created an alpha layer to "blackout" those areas. Again, this can be a pain-staking process to get right.

You can also see this "blackout" alpha layer technique in the round skin of CyCircled/Button Facade, except they do it on the outside of the button. If you look closely, you can see the black ring on the skins. That black ring hides the corners that extend beyond the outside edge of the skin.

I prefer the technique I use (inner black mask/ring) as it gives the buttons a "crisper" look, imho.
